I won Heiwa's 1,000,000 challenge

?? In above figure I just see a green moving point passing a stationary blue point. If the blue point moves left the green point will collide with the blue point. Suggest you improve the presentation with two moving points, etc, etc.

OK, is this better?The green dot now has less velocity after the maneuver then it did before.

If you study the NASA reports of the Apollo 11 Moon trip you will find that the velocity of the space craft Apollo 11 changed all the time during trip Earth/Moon.

It was maximum when leaving Earth. Then it slowed down all the the way to the Moon until Moon gravity became stronger than Earth gravity, when the velocity started to increase again in direction to the Moon.

Apollo 11 was always subject to strong gravity forces of Earth and Moon all the time. Obviously the velocity of Apollo 11 cannot be constant during the trip.

It seems you do not believe in Tintin landing straight on the Moon 1953 but that it is a good idea to enter Moon orbit first and calm down and have a look Apollo 11 1969 style. Why not? But how to do it?

I do a descending orbit insertion maneuver to bring the lander close to the surface and then I execute the PDI program which points the lander retrograde and slows it down to a stationary hover above the Moon after which it slowly brings it down to the surface. I explained this all in the video.

No, if you knew how to understand the orbital MFD then you would see that when I targeted the Moon it showed that the Moon was nowhere near my trajectory but it was there by the time I got near apogee.

In order to win my Challenge 2 I need a record of the space ship velocity vector during Moon orbit insert, when velocity is reduced from arrival speed to constant Moon orbit velocity and direction changes from away from Earth to into Moon orbit and fuel consumed.

You can see the fuel levels and velocity if you look at the right places on the HUD. I am not sure if I

You know, if you apply the brake force in the wrong direction at any time, you will not enter Moon orbit but miss the target.

Good luck.

Yeah, but lunar orbit insertion is one of the easier maneuvers. You just have to apply retrograde thrust just before you hit pedigree. By the way, I am using space travel jargon that you probably won't understand to try to force you to do research on the topic.

PS The video is really bad. 100% CGI with no math. Looks like the 911 WTC 1/2 top down global collapses (the Heiwa 1 challenge).

Yeah, it's a simulator. What do you expect? Did you think that it would contain actual footage from the Apollo missions or something? I made it to prove that it's possible to do the Apollo mission with the AMSO mod in Orbiter, and if you want to check the code then nothing is preventing you from doing that.

I think all gravity kicks are religious illusions.

This is about the level of competence I'd expect from a glorified boat mechanic LOL.

Or is this whack-job Bjφrkman now claiming to be knowledgeable in aeronautics and astrophysics? How does one make that leap from a grease monkey who changes the oil and pumps diesel for a boat engine? Which is why he must be wearing that sexy blue boiler suit in his avatar?

Although I have to admit the LED flashlight and the hard hat are a nice convincing touch... very professional.

For being a 17 years old Utah mormon you are quite good at NASA space travel jargon. I am not really impressed. But curious. Why?

What does his age and location have to do with being able to understand things? Maybe he has a keen interest in space and its exploration. Maybe he aspires to become an astronaut? Either way, it seems he does research on the subject and then forms an argument that is well thought out and coherent. So tell me, what is wrong with that?

Nothing. She/he has been a member here four months and makes >16 nonsense posts/day and claim being a winner. IMO a winer. The video posted was rubbish.

OK so that was nothing more than a personal attack against the user then. OK got it.

Yes another attack.

What made it rubbish? Please enlighten us. And don't just go and say, well because space travel is impossible. You have yet to show us how it is impossible.

For being a 17 years old Utah mormon you are quite good at NASA space travel jargon. I am not really impressed. But curious. Why?

I am really interested in space travel, science, technology, math, computers, and things like that which is why I have speant so much time studying it. I also have aspergers which means (among other things) that I have a certain set of topics that I am extremely interested in. I plan on having a career in the aerospace industry, probobaly as a space craft engineer.

Now that you have attempted to skillfully avoid most of my points, could you please address my points and answer my question: assuming space travel is real is it possible to win your challenge?

Oh dude, don't tell him that. You KNOW he'll focus on your condition, and as per normal ignore everything else. He will try to throw out your entire argument based on this. Normally I'd say let him draw enough rope to hang himself with, but it doesn't work when you're too stupid to know you're already strung up like a dope on a rope. Anders.

If human space travel is possible, it should be possible to win my Challenge.

But you really must fulfil the requirements of my Challenge to win it.

If you use a simulator to calculate certain manoeuvres - ok - but present it writing.

To suggest that just starting a rocket results in entering Moon orbit is no good. It is NASA/Buzz 1969 style. You must perform much better. How did you, e.g., arrive to the location starting the Moon orbit entry manoeuvre, etc. On ships at sea we draw the courses on our 2-D charts, etc. You must do something similar in 3-D space, I think. I don't want you to go off in the wrong direction and get completely lost.

At sea you may ran aground, if taking the wrong course. In space the risk is that you just disappear for ever. Maybe that is something to consider. Applies also to other clowns watching your show.

And I am curious to know what gloves your space travellers are using when outside the space craft.

I am also disappointed that you missed the NASA space craft landing at Utah but it was some years back. Then you could learn how to do a re-entry and land in your backyard or garden.

Nice circular reasoning. If human space flight is possible, it should be possible to win my Challenge.Since my Challenge is completely biased, it is impossible to win my Challenge.Since my Challenge is impossible to win, human space flight is impossible.

To suggest that just starting a rocket results in entering Moon orbit is no good. It is NASA/Buzz 1969 style. You must perform much better. How did you, e.g., arrive to the location starting the Moon orbit entry manoeuvre, etc.

I didn't just say that you turn on your engine when you get to the Moon, I said that you burn retrograde near lunar pedigree, or in other words you point the ship engine first and start the engine right before you reach the lowest point in your orbit. To find the exact burn time and ignition time you take your speed at pedigree, subtract orbital velocity of the Moon at that altitude, divide that by the acceleration the engine induces on the space craft, and you have the burn time and you just need to divide that by 2 to find out what the time to pedigree should be when you start the burn. I could provide more precise equations and stuff if it would help.

The trans lunar injection is slightly more complex, it includes n body calculations and orbital rendezvous stuff so it's almost impossible to calculate on paper.

Orbiter actually uses flight computers much like those on real space ships and it even simulates instrumental error.

On ships at sea we draw the courses on our 2-D charts, etc. You must do something similar in 3-D space, I think. I don't want you to go off in the wrong direction and get completely lost.

Navigating ships is not at all like navigating space ships, space ships use a lot of math and computer simulations to navigate and because of velocity and frame of reference stuff it's impossible to have all the necessary information to navigate a space ship on a 2D diagram. I am doing my best to explain this stuff to you but it's really complicated and your lack of understanding cannot be used as proof that it's wrong. You evidently have no idea how your computer works but that doesn't mean it doesn't work.

And I am curious to know what gloves your space travellers are using when outside the space craft.

Let me guess, next I have to explain the types of screws in the service module, how the astronauts went to the bathroom, the specs of the flight computer, the locking mechanism on the docking ports, and other irrelevant things.

I am also disappointed that you missed the NASA space craft landing at Utah but it was some years back. Then you could learn how to do a re-entry and land in your backyard or garden.

I wasn't even aware that that happened until you told me about it and not to mention I live over 500 miles from where it landed anyway. I didn't even have a drivers license at the time too, so I couldn't have gone if I wanted to.

What is a pedigree?

"I hadn't known there are so many idiots on the world until I launched the Internet." ~ Stanisław Lem

Orbits are ellipses and the body that's being orbited is always at one of the focuses of the ellipse. The apogee is the highest point in the orbit and the pedigree is the lowest point, they are always exactly opposite of each other.

Think you mean perigee. Not pedigree. Or maybe autocorrect is the problem.

I suggest you study the rules for the Challenge again and try to follow them in order to win. To argue with the judge (me) doesn't help. If you are only 17 you have plenty time to win. Just focus on the Challenge.

But it seems Utah is a violent place to be so maybe it is difficult for you? Just heard about the execution of Ronnie Lee Gardner there. Five Utah volonteers were ready to kill Ronnie Lee but only four got the chance. Poor Ronnie was secured one way or other and ... BANG, BANG, POUFF, BANG, BANG ... Ronnie Lee was legally killed by the volonteers. In Utah. Were you aware of it? Or you don't have a licence?

Nothing is irrelevant when winning the Challenge. Just follow the rules.

So you just heard about the execution that was almost 5 years ago? You are also calling the guy a poor guy for being executed?The guy killed one while robbing him, then killed another while trying to escape. Sounds like a poor guy doesn't he.

Voting is done by registered voters at my place. Each such voter shall put his paper ballot in an envelope and the envelope/ballot is put in a ballot box. The voter sign the registry. When all voters have voted, the ballot box is opened and the envelopes counted. Number of envelopes should be same as people voted. Then the envelopes are opened. Empty envelopes/no ballot are noted. And then the ballots are checked/counted and we know the votes for each ballot. Such voting is secret. It is not suitable to decide who won Heiwa's 1,000,000 challenge. To win my Challenge you have to submit the requested info to me for evaluation and not lie, moan and groan anonymously on the internet.

What a poor guy, he didn't do anything wrong other then shoot a guy in the face while robbing him under the influence of cocaine.

So are you saying that I do have to describe the types of screws in the service module, how the astronauts went to the bathroom, the specs of the flight computer, the locking mechanism on the docking ports, and other irrelevant things? I have already described the gloves about 3 times.

Orbits are ellipses and the body that's being orbited is always at one of the focuses of the ellipse. The apogee is the highest point in the orbit and the pedigree is the lowest point, they are always exactly opposite of each other.

Yeah, that's what I meant.

Yeah, question's back. If you had written it as perigee then I wouldn't have asked.

Just follow the Challenge rules at the link given above and avoid getting executed in Utah in the meantime by some volonteers there and you may win the Challenge.

Good news are that the Challenge sole judge (i.e. me) is in good shape and healthy in spite of all bad news suggestions to the contrary from silly, brainless, shitty fools here on the forum. The prize money is invested on the stock exchange that has rissen 30% since 1 January = more good news.

No, I just mentioned it in a post here an hour ago. The self appointed winner is from Utah. Just a warning to avoid getting executed while trying to win my Challenge.

To be frank I read about the Ronnie Lee Gardner 2010 Utah execution in my newspaper this morning. It seems there are another >3 000 persons/Americans waiting to be executed in the USA and the five (actually four) volonteer shooters in Utah were mentioned as an example how to exterminate these >3 000 persons. It seems USA have a big problem and don't really know how to execute them. Poison, electric chair, gaz, cutting off the heads seem to be difficult. Why not just string em up?
